I see some scope for slight improvements in Joerg's English translation, Philo, but wouldn't be able to do a 100% job on it. Do you want to have a go, so that we're left with something really accurate? And while you're at it, would you have the courage to tidy up the Irish version, as I presume for example that the woods are indeed nutty, rather than a renewable source of newsprint?

And Joerg, if you then want to post your draft German translation, I'd be glad to comment on it as the half-life of my German is still substantially better than that of my Irish.
